My Chaparral Vortex 203 engines are showing error messages but both engines are running well. The port side struggles to recharge (always has) and is slow to start but usually will turn over. Both batteries have been fully charged recently. Any ideas on what issue might be? Thank you.
 
Very difficult to help you without the fault codes. Usually when they are active, you can look in the setting and see them. Otherwise you need software, either Candoo Pro or BUDS home or a dealer.

Fyi, your engine is identical to Scarab boats. In case you search the forum for other posts similar to yours.
 
Thank you, Luc. I'll try to get the fault codes. Appreciate the information regarding Scarab.
